Next do Samantha

I think this video has a bad, misleading title. It indicates that Charlotte was never right in any aspect of her life. I think a clarification of what Charlotte got wrong about love would be less damning towards her as a character. =|

Hi! can't see it in the Netherlands. Would love to see it here!!

I cannot find your snapchat in India.

Yes! She had to grow from her 1st marriage and realize what truly will make her happy. I loved her relationship with Harry! Now that was the perfect relationship

Agreed. Her relationship with Harry is my favourite story arc on the show.

Harry and Charlotte getting together was my favorite part of the show. I adore them. I always liked Charlotte.

@@knockknocklandshark9022 Carrie having not even a hint of character development throughout the show was completely in character for her, if that makes any sense

knock knock Landshark I agree about Carrie 😒 she is relatable in that we all met someone as fun yet selfish as her

good friends, as they should

Mine too! ❤️

Same... :) Miranda was so cool like that... they were still kind of mad at each other yet she still followed her home

@@MalloryNewcomb she was emotionally mature, and had the ability to see Charlotte needing support was bigger than their current disagreement! -Carrie would never have done that, she would have asked ”are you sure? And then lit her cigarette and be trotting off to some shoe sale”.-

@@soilgrasswaterair "Well 50% off Manolo Blahniks! That's worth more than mere friendship" (throws cigarette away).

My favorite Charlotte moments are when she said the girls should be each others soul mates, when she showed up for Miranda after she thought M had had an abortion and when she went to Brady's birthday after her miscarriage.

Her smacking Big with the flowers was my fave scene from that movie.

@@thefriesofLockeLamora Charlotte is underrated! Sure she can be annoying and hypocritical but she shows a hella lot of growth, as does Samantha with Smith and Miranda with Steve ( although I always wished she'd gotten together with the hot doctor and broken racial stereotypes instead)! I think Carrie was meant to be static just and be a mirror showing the other characters' growth! While I love Samantha, I relate to Charlotte (the most) and Miranda after that. When Miranda talks about how 4 smart women could talk about nothing but men, I really felt that!! The scene where Charlotte says they're each other's soul mates is one of the best scenes.

@@archieniv I might be wrong but I think the black guy you are talking about is a lawyer, and the quote you said at the end was from Miranda. Again I could be wrong on the first one in case you are talking about someone else I dont remember. If it is Miranda's neighbor, he is a lawyer. Haven't watched the show in years.

@@tagaway6173 I'm talking about the final guy she dates before getting back together with Steve. Wiki says the characters was called Dr. Robert Leeds and he was a successful sports medicine doctor....so that's why I recalled him being a hot doctor .

how did it end for her?

not my opinion Charlotte and Harry ended up adopting a little girl from China and also ended up getting pregnant naturally a few years later. I feel like she was the happiest in her relationship when the movies came out

@The Psychedelic Underbelly Miranda started off good and funny and ended uncomfortably cynical. EVERYTHING was an issue. She became rude like every episode. The baby ruined her character It was not believable that steve loved her🤷🏽‍♀️

he end up with a bald and fat guy.

not my opinion She is rich and married to an ugly men.

Its weird and makes no sense, but I always STRONGLY identified with both Charolette and Miranda. I know they seem like polar opposites but I feel like I fit somewhere in between them. Charlotte was the best idc what anyone says.

olivia martinez Same here girl! I related to Miranda being a career focused, cynical woman, but at the same time I relate to Charlotte’s desire to want to share something special with someone.

agree

@@westworlds also agreed.

@@westworlds Charolette and Miranda are foils of each other-which is why their character arcs paralleled so nicely

I relate to this so much.

Preach!

The amount of times i said that back when i was like 18 hahaha. I'm such a Charlotte person (although i also identify with Miranda a bit), but i had, like her, to let go of my preconceptions of love. I met the love of my life when i was 19 and have been with him every since (i'm 26 years old). He's the opposite of the person i saw myself with but it works!

😭😭😭😤 they should stop doing this.

That line will always be iconic.

Lmao me too. It's okay girl! You don't have to be super sucessful just to be independent and opinionated

I felt that in my soul

Miranda was the most underrated of the 4.

I don't know what you class as success, but I hope you're not equating it to money/ career. Often when our careers are going well our personal life is a shit show. As long as you can go to bed most days and feel satisfied in what you've done, you're doing just fine. Miranda>>>>Carrie

I’m cryyyiiinng 😂😂. Same

Absolutely ! I have always attracted guys who preferred me without any makeup and nice clothes on. Well, that's because I was always attracted myself to laid back guys who didn't care much about appearence and mundanity and preferred experiences over possessions. It may sound strange, but I've never been with a rich man and I wouldn't like to, because with money usually comes certain social obligations or values that I am utterly allergic to. I'm very happy living a simple life instead. You attract who you are attracted to :)

I know! World hates the Charlottes; but why??

Pretty doesn’t sustain and isn’t enough to build a marriage on. Imo seeking a person to marry because of their looks is foolish.

I think you missed the point of the video. They weren't saying that Charlotte was wrong to have preferences. Just that she was so focused on the perfect idea of what a partner and marriage should be, she lost sight of actually finding a real connection with someone. She eventually let go of that rigid way of thinking and a met a loving partner that she really connected with. There is no shame in having ideals. But also know that life rarely works out the way you first envision. If you are too strict with your rules, you might miss out on some really great people.

TheSuperNats looks is not the only factor but still important. How are you going to love someone if you hate how their face looks? I wouldn’t want someone to date me if they didn’t like my looks.

I am the cool kid from Germany making videos for the USA and the rest of the world. I will make your day so don't say nay to my videos today, dear rey

Likewise, while the other girls were more jaded and cynical, I myself related more to Charlotte's eternal idealism and cheery attitude! 💗

Naive

I think Charlotte was good and I love her

"Park ave Pollyanna"

Right?!? So entitled. Nobody owes you your exorbitantly expensive apartment just bc they “have the money”. Same with the time she blamed her friend bc she lost her shoes at a party. Bring a bag for your expensive shoes or ask to place them somewhere safe.

Very entitled indeed. As time goes on and I re-watch SATC, I start to appreciate Charlotte more and more. And Carrie just works on my nerves. She is inconsistent. Wants a fantasy whirlwind romantic New York life,which in my opinion is unattainable and slightly a bit naive. She wants certain things but at the same time when she gets it, she is confused and frustrated that it didn't come with the pretty bow she expected it to come in. She lives in her brain more than in reality.

That had to be one of the worst episodes. You're in your late 30s, have less than 1,000 dollars in savings, the bank won't give you a loan, and you want your friend to loan you 30 grand, and guilt her into doing it???

I don't think that is the point of that episode,I mean, it's Carrie's fault becuase I think she can sell their shoes or sale clothing, but the part of Charlotte she could offer the money and she didn't do it, friends are for support other friends. Miranda and Samantha didn't doubt about it.

@GA I hear what you say and agree with you to a certain extent. In my opinion I feel that it wasn't fair to "money-shame" Charlotte when she didn't offer when Sam and Miranda offered money and then felt brazen enough to confront Charlotte about it and make her feel like a bad friend. Money is a sensitive topic for some people and I think Carrie should just have respected the fact that Charlotte didn't want to talk about it or even offer her money. Okay yes in the end Charlotte did give her her wedding ring from her first marriage to pawn off and make a down payment on her apartment. And it was an important lesson for Carrie. But Carrie basically bullied and "money-shamed" Charlotte for not offering money and for being rich. Money is not something one talks about lightly. A true friend would do what Charlotte - she schooled Carrie and Carrie realised that it's not fair for others to give her an easy way out. She even realised that she must handle her money better, which essentially led her to writing for Vogue and then getting her work published etc giving her more financial independence. It was an important episode in that light. Both friends essentially learnt from one another, but I do feel Carrie didn't have any tact on the matter.

Which is ironic in many ways, because as "vanilla" as she was thought to be, there were times she actually put herself out there. Like with the artist painting her vagina, and when she had sex with an Hasidic Jewish artist. She was an art curator and appreciated the arts, which is an industry full of fiery passion and appreciation for beautiful things. Deep down, she is so not Vanilla. She is more like a smooth tiramisu with chocolate choc chips to surprise and delight the palate. Hehe

Because being vanilla is the worst thing out there...not everyone is or can be edgy.

@@terzelrasmus-williams2530 well said with that analogy!

@@terzelrasmus-williams2530 That was awesome... and yes, I do think from time to time about the painting thing and how she was very traditional but she wasn’t a total prude. Great example

Also that was her body in the painting but nobody knew except her friends - and it was artistic. She worked at galleries & had an appreciation for art. So it makes sense for the character

Or bebe chow steals it

Uh, no. That’s NOT how infertility works. There are women in war-torn countries who get pregnant. Not exactly a relaxing situation, to put it mildly! So “relaxing had nothing to do with infertility. And perpetuating that myth is very hurtful to people struggling with infertility.

@@tp7738 hi, I hope this doesn't come off as dismissive or disrespectful, but I think the person was making a paralel with charlotte as a whole - once she stopped looking for Mr. Right, she found someone who was perfect for her, and when she was in a happier, less stressed out mindspace she ended up getting pregnant. If I'm not mistaken, charlotte was never infertile, but it was really hard for her to get pregnant and keep the pregnancy, so it was simpler for her to get pregnant afterwards comparing to other woman who go through different struggles.

That until the second film where she became one of the worst characters of the movie.

@@tp7738 i mean.. yeah that can happen but its far from true that fertility and stress are not related. Stress has a real affect on your body and hormones.

Schooled Carrie and yet still secretly rooted for them to have a happy ending

Charlotte is a hypocrit. She cheated her husband with a gardener.

@@nemanjaras for some reason I'm kinda of willing to bet that ALL 4 main leading female characters from Sex and the City have also been "hypocrites" at some point or another during the show/movies

@@monabohamad2242 i'm willing to bet we all have been hypocrites at some point. knowing or unknowingly, we all make mistakes and that doesn't condemn us to a life of accepting when our friends repeat those same patterns... charlotte eventually being unfaithful doesn't exempt her wanting carrie to be better.

@@elismaria1612 what exactly do you mean by "Charlotte eventually being unfaithful doesn't exempt her wanting Carrie to be better"?

Its so beautiful! Harry is not good looking yet he was a beautiful character. He treated her so great

Funnily enough, I also thought Charlotte was in some ways the bravest character, and most likely to take unexpected risks? I loved when she posed for that painter, it was so empowering and totally off-brand for her.

Yet, she upends her life for him, too

She's truly stunning, and still is. I kind of get the feeling her personality just kind of glows through.

I personally think Charlotte was the most beautiful out of the four women. Her and Samantha were the most stunning.

Sometimes it's a little to shiny, but yeah!

I wish I had her hair

Her hair has been thinning for some time now. She's even hawking a shampoo for thinning hair.

How? She went to resort in Mexico and refused to eat anything because she thought it wouldn't be clean enough. She's remained classist, judgemental, etc.. Marrying Harry didn't change that, or her views on pretty much anything.

​@@iarahelenameirelles3027 All the girls on the show are very elitist, but Charlotte in that aspect is gross.

@@iarahelenameirelles3027 I seriously just ignored BOTH those movies. The first one arguably had some good moments but it really did Charlotte dirty w/ her lack of plot/arc and her whole prejudice against Mexican food (Srsly? Where do they get off making her like that? I got that Charlotte liked fancier things but she never pegged me as someone who would look down on entire country's cuisine. They couldn't think of another reason for her to get sick and find out she got pregnant?). The entire second movie is trash all the way. I can't even begin to unpack how judgemental, classist, ignorant, mean and entitled that entire movie is.

@@iarahelenameirelles3027 your complete lack of not seeing the complexity in a character is outstanding.

Iara Helena Meirelles if you think the other girls are not judgements and flawed, you have a deluded way of seeing things my friend. Sounds like we have a biased, closed minded, shallow thinker here

Sounds both wonderful and frustrating at the same time lol 😂

Kinda reminded me of Lily and Marshall's wedding in How I Met Your Mother

@@Sarah-ml4fv No one asked them too, everyone just decided to pitch in.

@@hamdialihassan1048 It was honestly not that bad. It was a funny "bad luck" wedding.

@@polinavekchina7862 I mean ... yeah pretty much lmao. I'll take her taste in shoes I guess.

@@KaylaNoelle1 Nah, while she has good taste in shoes aesthetically, they are murder on your feet if you're not used to stiletto heels

Sounds exhausting :)

Same

Samantha enjoys sleeping around because she is lucky to always, with very few exceptions (maybe 2), sleep with guys who can satisfy her. In real life, you stumble upon a vast majority of guys who are terrible at sex and won't make any efforts unless you're their girlfriend. In real life, you do not want to spend years having countless sexual partners who won't give you any pleasure. In real life, you don't meet such hotties who will have sex with you after 1min of conversation. Samantha lives the ultimate porn fantasy for those reasons. All of the four women in SATC are stereotypical but samantha goes one step further in my opinion. PS) I adore this character nevertheless.

And Miranda too!!!

This!!!

@@chrissiem3958 that's true! But there's already a video about her 😍

@@sofitocyn100 Samantha is not a stereotype, is a satire. It's healthy if you don't buy that satire. But deep down there's something more, it's a profound desire to be desired. And at the same time doing your own way, avoiding any chance of weakness or vulnerability.

FUCKING THANK YOU!

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!

Exactly. Say it loud. Say it proud! Wishing more people understood this.

@@knmattioda We all play our part! Thanks, be well!

Samantha doesn’t need developement she’s perfect ;))

Charlotte acts as the mind requires (she always calculates her future) Miranda cannot stand pretending - she acts as the soul wants Samantha follows her body's wishes Carrie trusts her heart blindly

Carrie: The Psycho

Z M I’m thinking in terms of their whole being not just one aspect of their personality. Charlotte to me is the heart of the friend group. She is optimistic and loving and offers a grand romantic voice to the group. Miranda thinks for herself but also tries to think for the others and help guide them through their troubles with logic and reason. Samantha is sexually free and influences the girls to embrace their bodies and sexuality. And Carrie holds them together despite their differences and has a unique bond with each girl.

Carrie: the ego

@@tatianagoncalves944 classic carrie hater

We would LOVE to see it.

Oh YES

☑️☑️☑️☑️☑️☑️☑️☑️

That would be awesome!!

How is she a moral compass? How is being classist, judgemental and a false moralist something moral?

@@iarahelenameirelles3027 and hypocritical as well. Sleeps with about 20 men (second most partners out of the four) in first three seasons and calls herself a hopeless romantic and judges Samantha for being open about her sexuality.

Actually Living Single did before SATC. LS 1993, SATC 1998.

I wanted to be just like her as a nine year old. But alas! Am a hodgepodge of her and Miranda in a world where it's her or no go☹️😭

@@availanila I am more of a Miranda, because Miranda is my favorite character these days. When I was younger, I thought I was more Carrie and Samantha. Then, when I grew up a bit more, I felt more like Samantha. Now, I am more Miranda, but I have that piece of Charlotte hope.

And she was brave for doing that. Many people would have been too afraid to speak their minds, but she was firm with her values and she was caring for her friend as well.

I loved how the three of them had different reactions and I loved all of their reactions but Charlotte's really sticks with you

Yeah atleast Charlotte is upfront about it.

She had a point: Carrie had a steady income, she should have been able to take care of herself

And she could have sold her shoes

@@sabrinac8453 I wonder if there is a market for that. You can definitely sell your jewellery on the internet, but the shoes?

@@loiracitr I'm sure she could have a found a way if she wanted to😂

But didn't she give Carrie her ring?

Or, she was an aspect of something you identify with that is not necessarily appealing to you. If you check the comments, most people here agree with her.

The irony and hypocrisy of the character being that she judged Samantha for being open about sex, but herself was sleeping with a new man almost every episode. Till season three, Charlotte slept with about 20 men and yet she hypocritically talks about Samantha. I don't even call myself a "hopeless romantic" and I don't judge my friends who sleep with people like a bitch, yet I am a 22 year old, in a long term relationship and yet still waiting to break my virginity. Her hypocrisy is the most annoying thing about her character. She is shallow (other than with Trey and Harry), she breaks up with great men for the stupidest of reasons, yet she judges Samantha for the way she talks about the men she is dating/having sex with.

As someone that mom's has both characteristics (good and bad) I can see why they did it, beign so focus on what society tells you to do can make you like that... a continuous search of perfection at all cost she recovers from some of that aspects but not all of them.

Agnieszka M but the clothes were beautiful

Anusha Dwivedi you probably shouldn’t think about your virginity as being something to “break”. Mad respect for waiting for the right person and all (I was also a virgin until 22) but it seems like you’re not approaching it in the best way if that’s how you’re viewing it. You are not changed as a person when you first have sex. It doesn’t even hurt if you do it properly (certainly didn’t fit me)

I disagree with this statement. I don’t know why people make such a big fuss about finding a “special someone” ... it is relatively easy to find a really special person to share life events with... at least in my experience ... I really don’t get it.

@@MsSavyy I think this line was integral as the show evolved to show that the women chose each other as their soulmates, the special people they would share things with. I for one am the kind of person who doesn't feel any draw to the idea of a special someone, but to others, it is their life goal. And it was not easily achieved for Charlotte in the end.

@@orgoik That makes sense :) I think the word soulmate is integral for me, when you mentioned it I understood better the meaning of all above :)

👍Agree 100%. Female empowerment, feminism, whatever you want to call it IS about choice. Only the man-hating extremists think otherwise. Charlotte went after exactly what she wanted. With age and experience, her idealistic side was chipped at and formed and polished into her great relationship with Harry, and seemingly a better relationship with herself. She never hurt a fly and that, combined with not settling makes her strong. Being a sexist, judgmental, hypocritical b**ch wasn't the original goal of the feminist movement - living your life by your own choices, while trying to be respectful of others was.

@@npkrn6764 wow, very well said ! :)

Truth. Studies about successful people show they are better able to visualize and believe in a version of reality in which they have and deserve what they want. Some interpretations of that study say those people are better able to lie to themselves, but that's not quite right- building skill and personality requires a willingness to assess yourself as you are as well.

That sword cuts both ways, How many people crashed and burned because they weren't connected to reality ?

I think the line of detrimental delusion is, when you feel like life loses worth without reaching your goal. One can have strong faith and reach for their dreams even when they seem unrealistic, but you shouldnt lay your complete future happiness on it. Believe equally as much in your ability to adapt to whatever life offers despite your vision of how it should be. That creates true resilience and gives you your best chances to reach whatever you wish for.

"Got there" where?

I would argue that it was when she finally let go of that illusion that she finally got what she wanted.

Oh, yes, please! Videos on "The Mentalist", my fav series EVER! :)

Yes!! I was thinking they should do some takes on Girlfriends!! Please @thetake? I would love them to also analyze Toni and her relationship with her background and how it influenced her materialistic narcissistic nature/how she saw herself, or Lynn and how she flailed for a while and her identity stuff! I would love it

As a gay man, I want the husband, and children 😂. Rn in my life though , I’m very Samantha 😂

Charlotte: the heart Miranda: the mind Samantha: the soul

OMG yes

What’s carrie? I do believe no matter how toxic her relationships are she should be included in this.

Carrie: the one profiting off all three.

Carrie: the psycho

Carrie would have been happier with Aiden. The writers messed up big time with that. You can tell the writers caved to the fans.

Harry was the only partner/love interest on that show I liked. He kept it real, he was kind and honest and funny, didn't dismiss Charlotte's friends but also knew when to point out when they were being ridiculous--basically everything to look for in a life partner.

@@leorising8074 i don’t think she would’ve been happier. she had a panic attack at the thought of marrying him and wouldn’t cut off the man she had an affair with when Aidan asked 🥲. she’s just as toxic as big, they honestly deserve each other. (+ omg i’m a Leo rising too 🥰)

The Take is so incredibly clikc baty I almost did not click on this video since the title doesn´t seem to have anything to do with it.

fairychamber It’s sad that Miranda and Carrie and even Big have nice thumbnails with positive or neutral titles but Charlotte has an unflattering pic with a mean spirited title.

But isnt the title their whole point tho? That she was wrong on holding onto those conventional idea of how she should behave and to whom she should get married?

@@sofiarv8414 It's very one-sided though, because they state themselves in the video that she is also an inspiration due to her optimism and actual ability to grow. They could have easily titled it (as s.o said here in the comments) "Why Charlotte grew the most out of the quartet" or something along those lines. They focused solely on her faults with this thumbnail and title. Even Carrie got a balanced cover ("perfectly imperfect"), although she arguably deserved it the least.

@@sofiarv8414 Yes, but it’s a backhanded title, thumbnail, and video. It could have been done tastefully. And no, it’s not the conventional ideas, it’s an extreme version of conventional ideas that overlap her true self.

Yesss

I always tear up in the scene where she and Trey realize they can't stay together. Neither of them was wrong, but Trey was a true gentleman to Charlotte throughout.

Very true, but I think that was the essence of Charlotte's character. For all her conservative, prim values she always came through for her friends.

Absolute favorite character in the show.

She is literally me and I am her 😂

Exactly. Charlotte was an amazing character and a great friend. I don’t know when will the society stop judging women for what they want

You can still look at her character with some gender studies glasses, nothing wrong with that! And they didn’t put her down they simply broke down her traits to the viewer. If people did this more they wouldn’t land themselves in toxic relationships (not at all saying Charlotte is toxic, but saying it should be done by people in general when they meet new potential friends).

@Sabrina Kall and ultimately through that divorce, an amazing husband and two beautiful girls, a happy marriage, a gorgeous park Avenue apartment and her life dream. So she got what she wanted, just stumbled her way down the path.

I hope they do :)

PLEASE do Samantha!

The episode where she becomes addicted to chocolate cake and even eats a little out of the trash...that ep really hit close to home XD

She was an upper class women. Of course she wanted to marty an upper class man. What is so wrong about wanting to marty the same level (which in her case was the rich because she is rich herself).

@@ioanafilipescu2327 I agree.

I've begged on like every video for this lol

Carrie was the worst

Her and big were both so toxic 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️

Same

Charlotte chose the life many women chose a generation or two earlier. For some of those women things worked out; but many later regretted their choices, or at least after 20 years decided they wanted more. (I see Charlotte as Betty Draper in the 1960s.) If any character was going to have a 1970s-style “midlife crisis” in the reboot, Charlotte would have been the most likely candidate.

OMG, yes!!

Exactly this!

No one could possibly ever be right about everything. We learn as we live.

Unfortunate but true

I would still take these over those utter tosspots, that were the Entourage. I would be like no, no, no!!! to SATC but Entourage would make me want to scream and throw things at the screen.

The 'If trey tried harder' is key here. He just wasn't interested in doing the work on the relationship, and in the end, he did not have the same views as Charlotte on having children. Those two things would have destroyed the relationship, no matter what Charlotte did.
